Van Dijk’s late impact sparked Carragher into life after Chelsea missed several chances to take the lead at Wembley.

And the Reds legend claimed that the centre-back’s winner “shows that football isn’t all about money.”

However, supporters were quick to pounce on Carragher’s words.

That’s because Van Dijk himself cost £75million when he joined Liverpool from Southampton in January 2018.

The deal made him the most expensive defender in world football at the time.

Van Dijk is now the third-most expensive after Harry Maguire’s £80m Man United move from Leicester, and Josko Gvardiol’s £77m Man City move from RB Leipzig.

But fans still hit out at Carragher’s “deluded” comments on social media.

One said: “Carragher ‘it’s not all about money’ as a £75m centre-back scores the f*****g winner!”

Another declared: “Winning goal scored by the world’s most expensive defender…”

One noted: “He says it as £75m Van Dijk heads in the winner.”

Another added: “What kind of punditry is this? He’s talking like Liverpool haven’t spent £800million since Klopp arrived.”

Carragher’s comments came after fellow Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville branded Chelsea the “billion pound bottlejobs.”

He said live on air: “In extra time, it’s been Jurgen Klopp’s kids against the blue, billion-pound bottlejobs.

“Liverpool have been absolutely sensational. Those young players have been incredible. Klopp must be so proud.

“However, for Chelsea, I have no sympathy for them whatsoever. Mauricio Pochettino’s players have shrunk. They have shrunk right in front of our eyes and in front of their fans.”
